The industrial sector has been told for decades that clean operation means compromised performance. VIVIFY's Clean Air Technology™ (CAT™) is the answer to that false choice. A retrofit-ready five-stage platform designed to remove virtually all pollutants from exhaust streams, built for real-world integration across multiple fuel types and industrial environments, without compromising operational reliability.

01 — The Reality
Coal Still Runs America
Coal is one of the largest single sources of U.S. electricity, running on a fleet of plants that are staying online longer than expected. That fleet is exactly where retrofit-ready emissions control matters most.
219
coal-fired power plants are operating in the U.S. today, running 462 individual generating units.

coal's share of U.S. electricity generation, per EIA's short-term forecast: 17% in 2025, easing to roughly 15% in 2026, and still one of the largest single sources on the grid.

The coal fleet isn't shrinking as fast as it was expected to. Plants that were scheduled to close are staying open, which means the emissions control question isn't going away; it's getting more urgent.
2.6 GW
total coal-fired generating capacity retired in 2025 across just four plants, the smallest annual retirement total in 15 years.

coal-fired capacity that didn't retire as originally planned: 4.8 GW had its retirement delayed to a future year, 1.2 GW had its 2027 retirement canceled outright, and another 1.1 GW across two plants also had retirement plans canceled, as plants that were supposed to be offline are staying online instead.

EPA's own data makes the case plainly: pollution controls work. But the roughly 219 coal-fired power plants still operating today are still emitting SO2, NOx, and mercury, and the reductions of the last three decades only hold if operators keep investing in the retrofit equipment that produced them.
18%
the increase in sulfur dioxide pollution from U.S. coal-fired power plants in 2025, the second-largest annual increase in the 30 years EPA has tracked the data, only behind 2021's post-pandemic rebound.
